HELP! I need help with identifying my ducks. I ordered cayugas but I've never seen cayugas like this

They replied..........
" It is very hard to tell at this stage. The Cayuga ducklings usually do have somewhat of a yellow bib when they are first hatched that will remain until they get their adult plumage. I will go ahead and re-ship the 5 ducklings.. Let me know if you have any questions."


So maybe they are and maybe not? I just really want to introduce some into my flock. Looks like I get 5 mystery ducks until they grow older then maybe it will be more obvious? I ordered a drake in the mix and now will have 2 drakes to out of my 15 ducks. I was only planning for 10 ducks... I have 10 baby chickens too. I hope my area/coop will be adequate. They will be free ranging during the day so I guess it will all work out...

Yay well congrats to you. Hope everything works out and you end up with the ducks out wanted

I know this is older but I was hoping for an update picture. I had shipped eggs that hatched last week and one of the supposedly show quality Cayuga has the same coloring in addition to the bottom bill is completely pink and also pink splotches on both feet. I thought Cayuga were to have black feet and bill. When I asked the seller (nicely I might add). She got pissy and basically called me stupid.

I have had shipped cuyogas hatch with white chest and Black feet, I've never had any come out with pink bills that turn black..and I've never had pink or orange splotches on the feet either. With out pictures i can't speculat as to whether they're mixed or not, at the very least you've gotten some poor quality cuyogas, but i'm leaning toward that they're mixed. My well bred cuyoga was solid black when he hatched..no white at all and he grew to be a big beautiful drake. Don't get me wrong, the shipped eggs i had that hatched with white chests are stll pretty, but not nearly as big, and they still have white patches on the chest. The rest has always been black, feet, and bills..and of coursethe beetle green/ purple irridecent colors as well.
